Yesterday, we tested the predictive capabilities of the Colley Matrix, and I think I would like to continue that examination...but in any good contest, we should keep a score!

For our game, an accurate prediction counts as a win, an upset counts as a loss, and we won't count performance against teams that are equal. For W-L, equal teams have an equal number of wins and losses. For Colley, equal teams are less than .01 different. Today, for instance, the Blazers and Nets are considered Colley equals, and the Hornets and Lakers are considered W-L equals, but not vice-versa.

Colley:
Bulls (0.4295) upset Blazers (0.7435)
Kings (0.5900) defeated Raptors (0.4755)
Spurs (0.5808) defeated Clippers (0.2648)
Score: 2-1
Record: 4-3

W-L:
Bulls (1-1) upset Blazers (3-0)
Kings (2-1) defeated Raptors (1-1)
Spurs (1-1) defeated Clippers (0-3)
Score: 2-1
Record: 3-3

Yesterday, the Lakers defeat of the Warriors didn't count as a win for W-L, because it was a matchup of equals. Colley Matrix has a slight lead!
